STROUD butcher Mick Henrickson has proven his skills on the national stage, placing seventh in the prestigious Australian Butcher Wars competition held in Sydney earlier this month.
Representing Stroud Butchery, Mick competed against some of the most talented butchers from across the country in a fast-paced showdown of precision, creativity, and craftsmanship.
The event, part of the annual Meatstock Festival, celebrates the art of butchery and showcases the passion behind the trade.
Mick’s performance was a standout, impressing both judges and spectators with his technique, speed, and presentation.
“It was an incredible experience,” Mick said.
“To be in the same room as so many skilled butchers and to walk away with a top ten finish – it’s something I’m really proud of.
“I would also like to congratulate Nate from Snow and Sons in Wingham for taking out the young butcher award and to Mitch from Snow and Sons who stood up as a second year apprentice and gave his all.
“It’s good to see the next generation of butchers out there and see that the industry will be in good hands!” said Mick.
Stroud locals and loyal customers are beaming with pride at Mick’s success, which shines a spotlight on the exceptional quality and expertise found right here in the community.
